Chandler Carruth 9156c5e3ba Teach the load analysis to allow finding available values which require
inttoptr or ptrtoint cast provided there is datalayout available.
Eventually, the datalayout can just be required but in practice it will
always be there today.

To go with the ability to expose available values requiring a ptrtoint
or inttoptr cast, helpers are added to perform one of these three casts.

These smarts are necessary to finish canonicalizing loads and stores to
the operational type requirements without regressing fundamental
combines.

I've added some test cases. These should actually improve as the load
combining and store combining improves, but they may fundamentally be
highlighting some missing combines for select in addition to exercising
the specific added logic to load analysis.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
